The suffering of the Sudanese may be off camera now, but it won’t be in a few months when babies are starving en masse.

    Sure, I can probably dig it up if you’re interested. Like I said, it wasn’t a spat, it was just you telling me not to reply to your comments.

    I’m a bit of a film fan and was pleasantly surprised when Spielberg of all people said something vaguely against killing civilians in Gaza (half of Hollywood seem to be wildly pro genocide), so I posted it in a movie sub.

    Emotive subject, might explain it. Also I get lazy about deleting tags. Maybe when you see it again you’ll remember how annoying I am and block me this time!

    Anyway here it is, I can’t seem to format it for other instances but here it is viewed through kbin.

      You’re right. I remember that. And I didn’t read the end of the quote. Apologies.

      I was all pumped for the A15 protests at the time and I was really mad (still am). I wasn’t saying not to reply, just not to tag or @ me.

      Context: I’ve been mad at Spielberg for a while for glorifying war in Priv Ryan. I went into that comment thread with multiple sets of baggage. Apologies again for lashing out without taking in the content in an unbiased fashion. I take ownership when I make mistakes. Cheers.

        Thanks for the apology, it’s all good. Glad I can stop avoiding replying to you in my threads.

        I am really bad at not backspacing over the pre-populated tag though. Doesn’t help that I interact a fair bit with people from Mastodon on here and they tend to use it. Also kbin thread displays can be confusing so the tags help me keep track of the conversation in big threads.

        So, yeah I’ll try to not tag you but if I ever do start annoying you, do block me.
